I just got a new CPU today so as soon as i get the internet ill be on the forum alot more, hopfully in the next two weeks or so. As for my car, Right now im drivin an 05 ford taurus...wit da sprizay, lol. Anyway, ill try to get back on tom. when i got more time and actually talk, i only got 2 more mins till the library closes, So ill talk to you guys tom. Good to hear from everyone! 8)

Just thought id pop in and say hey, i dont have a computer right now so i havnt been on in a while, im a computer in the library right now, so thought id say hey to everyone. Dont know when ill be able to log back in and check on this, but ill try to log back in tom.

I guess after the "Its your fault im fat because i choose to eat your food" Law suit, they wanted to add some Healthy items to the menu? Dont know though, i always grab the bigmac :nod:

Good to see almost everyones still around, im gonna try and make it out this weekend, although i dont have a car right now, but ill get someone to bring me out, or either dig up the old wing and catch a draft 8)

i bought one, i was too poor to afford two of them , ill be purchasing my other one this weekend

Here is the instructions, IM NOT 100000% sure it will fit the 2000+ up, but everything seems to check out, as long as its not the ecotec it should work. (i plan on trying this over the winter) 2.2 L BONEYARD TURBO PROJECT GUIDE: (steps if using t3 turbo) ITEMS NEEDED: 1. T3 turbo in good condition internally wastegated(mine was out of a saab 1987 saab 900 turbo) 2. 1988 cavalier 2.0 steel exhaust manifold (other years may work) 3. T3 flange to weld to the exhaust manifold (you also need a t3 gasket) 4. oil line kit with fittings and lines for oil inlet and return line 5. 90 degree nitrile or silicone adapter for compressor outlet 6. intake tubing to go from 90 degree adapter to throttle body 7. saab 3 bolt turbo exhaust outlet flange 8. custom exhaust piping from flange to current exhaust 9. new coolant line to replace metal line that bolts to stock manifold 10. boost gauge 11. blow off valve 12. bolts or studs for bolting turbo to exhaust manifold 13 air filter for compressor of turbo 14. you will need several things customized. First you will need to get the t3 flange welded to your manifold.(i welded mine on the drivers side of the manifold and then cut the hole in the manifold for the outlet to the turbo), You will need to customize the oil drain tube ( i cut mine to 6" and then welded the top lip on so i can still use the dipstick)next you will need a bung welded to your intake pipe for your blow off valve if you are using a bov. You will need to clock the turbo so the flange and intake outlet are in the correct position. INSTALLATION: 1. remove stock exhaust manifold 2. mount modified turbo manifold (reassemble everything) 3. mount turbo to turbo manifold 4. tap turbo return line into oil pan and also reinstall oil dipstick tube 5. connect oil return line to turbo 6. connect fittings to oil pressure point at back of engine 7. connect incoming oil supply line from engine fitting to turbo fitting 8. connect intake hose from throttle body to your turbo and install air filter to turbo. 9. connect down pipe from turbo to existing exhaust 10. connect bov(blow off valve) to vacuums line on the intake manifold 11. Connect your metal coolant replacement line 12. run your lines for boost gauge and tap into a vacuum line on intake manifold 13. do a test run If you do it, it shouldnt cost more then 800$ if you shop around, and since you already have the turbo. The guy who came up with these directions did it for 500$, hope that helps smile.gif [ 08 October 2002, 02:19 PM: Message edited by: akaRED ]

Cavys can take more then 5psi... there are a few people running 7psi... they lean out at about 9, and thats usually around when they blow up, but up to 7psi is seems to be working good, and 8psi is probly pushing it. Btw, people are also using manifolds from the 87-89 cavys as the turbo manifold, dunno if that will work on the 2000+ models but i dont see why it wouldnt? ... like doug said check out jbody.org, and make a post about it, you should get some awnsers there. smile.gif [ 08 October 2002, 05:18 AM: Message edited by: akaRED ]

Fixed it... My idiot friend put one of my spark plugs in wrong when he checked em. graemlins/fruit.gif

Yup... well i only took out one plug... i just went and started it up... it doesnt really sound like a tick, kinds sounds like little bits of air going "TST, TST, TST, TST, TST, TST, TST, TST"

Nope, but my car seems like its been missing a little latly(VERY little), but no difference with the ticking noise [ 28 June 2002, 07:57 PM: Message edited by: akaRED ]

Hm, i took my spark plugs out to check if there was any white stuff on the tips from the spray (Very litte btw), and afterwards i am noticing a slight tick, ill go take em out and put em back in, in a few, just wanna know if thats not causing it, what else could it be? Its not really that loud, just a small ticking sound, at idle you can barly hear it, but when im driving and give it a little gas you can hear it a little better (still pretty quiet though) ::worries::

Just give it a few good bangs... should work fine.. tongue.gif

Coilpacks.... then they have spark WIRES ... chris knows how to explain it. smile.gif
